Season 4 - Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev

The spirit of Sati appears before Lord Shiva and asks him to return to his Godly state and do what he must for them to be reunited. Nandi is overwhelmed as Lord Shiva once again becomes God. Egged on by Tarakasur, Dudumbhi torments Rishi Dadhichi. Will Shiva come to his recue?

Lord Shiva assumes the form of Kalbhairav, defeats the asuras and blesses Rishi Dadhichi. The two of them establish a Shakti Peetha in one of the places where Sati’s remains have fallen; that is Kashi. Tarakasur commands the Earth to swallow up the other remains, or ‘pind’ of Shakti.

When the Earth refuses to obey Tarakasur and destroy Sati’s remains, he threatens to demolish the Planet. Failing to stop Tarakasur, Shukracharya asks the Earth to send Sati’s remains to Lord Shiva. He rejoices at seeing Sati in front of him. But Tarakasur’s attack on Earth seems unstoppable.

Adi Shakti urges Mahadev to act against Tarakasur and protect the universe from him. Mahadev summons his powers and saves the earth from destruction. Meanwhile, he finds out that two parts of Sati’s ‘pind’ are missing. Tarakasur is bent on destroying them.

Vidyunmali fights with Him Naresh to destroy the ‘pind’ that he is protecting. Shiva arrives there and Vidyunmali runs away. Shiva establishes all the Shakti Peethas. Rishi Markandeya predicts that Ganga, the daughter of Him Naresh and Menavati, will join Mahadev sometime.

Tarakasur plots to destroy the purity of the heavens. Brahma meets Him Naresh and asks him to send Ganga to heaven so it can be purified. Lord Vishnu tells Lakshmi that Adi Shakti will be born as the daughter of Him Naresh and Menavati.

Indra asks Ganga the reason for her sadness and she tells him that she wishes to marry Mahadev. Indra, in turn, reveals to Ganga the facts about the birth of Adi Shakti. The other half of Shiva is born as the daughter of Him Naresh and Menavati. Tarakasur learns this and sends Bahurupa to destroy the child.

Bahurupa, who sets out to kill Adi Shakti, is redeemed from a curse by the Goddess. Rishi Markandeya takes the child back to Menavati. Narad Muni christens this avatar of Adi Shakti as Parvati. Rishi Markandeya removes Menavati’s doubts about the glory and powers of Mahadev.
